Hey Neel, 

 

I'm super newbie here but trying my best to learn. What is an articulation map?

Here is a start.

Also, in YouTube search for Cakewalk articulation maps.

If you are looking at MIDI tracks in the console, the MIDI channel is on the strip. Assuming Modules -> Sends/Bank/Patch is enabled.

A Simple Instrument track shows MIDI channel under nput.

If working with audio, I would assume MIDI channel is irrelevant.

Just saying .....😀

Maybe these YT videos will help. 1   2

Hello

One of the posts, or poles on one of my Seymour Duncan pickups is really low down, almost below the pickup housing.

Is there a way to raise an individual post/pole?

Thanks

Does it affect the volume balance between strings? If yes, then either try @Kurre's suggestion, or take it to a music instrument shop.

If the volume balance is correct, leave it.

Yes, serum. please help me with that 

Right-click on the track and select Split Instrument Track. You end up with 2 tracks - one with the MIDI data, the other is the audio track; you can add your audio FX here.

So, I am able to add sections to the arranger panel and then commit them, which then creates a new arrangement. But there is only 1 arrangement per project. There is NO list of alternate arrangements! When I create a new arrangement, it simply replaces the old one! What's the point in this function? I thought the idea was to have multiple arrangements to choose from and compare!

To create arrangements you drag sections from the top "Sections" pane down to the "Arrangements" pane. You reorder them as you wish.

To create a new arrangement, click the dropdown that says "Arrangement 1" and select + New
This will give you a new arrangement, called Arrrangement 2. You then drag sections down to it and rearrange the sections as you wish.

Continue with as many arrangements as you want.

Same with me. Maybe it is something that got removed?

Does record the notes.

As far as I can tell the current documentation is online.

Translator gave this:

Hi everybody! I have been using the program since 2009. I constantly miss one important option. You need to make two outputs from each channel.

Can this be moved to the Q&A forum for futher discussion? 

Requests go to Feedback Loop.

Even after the update, CbB is unusable. Type 1 audio dropouts every few seconds of playback, tweaking plugin parameters causes dropouts, sometimes pausing playback causes dropouts...In the current project I'm working, it takes me a few minutes to EQ a single track because you tweak a setting during playback, it causes a dropout, you go back play, then a random dropout occurs...I'm already running at the maximum latency I can.

With all respect your problems are pretty much unique to your setup. You don't need upgrades, you need to contact supposrt and discuss each problem with them personally.

Edit->Preferences->Keyboards Shortcuts is how you define shortcuts. Ripple edit is not available. (Unless under a secret name. 😀)

To help you, when you have got it working the parallel way, come back to this thread, post a screenshot of your routing, and someone can suggest a different way of doing it. Seeing as you have already succeeded doing it one way, the alternative will make sense to you. An effective way of learning.

With Realtek use WASAPI.

Shared means that other PC sounds work, Exclusive means that everything except Cakewalk is muted.

Doesn't have that facility.

However, when the Start Screen opens, Recent Projects is Selected by default, and the most recent project is at the top of the list.

From the menu select File -> Save As

There is the old name highlighted in File name:

Press backspace to delete it, and type in the new name.

Press Enter. It is saved with the new name.

If Windows won't let you do that it means that you don't have Windows Access Rights to the folder. Try creating a new folder, move all the templates there, and then in Preferences Folder Locations point Cakewalk to the new location. Restart Cakewalk.

Put it in the Cakewalk Track Templates folder.

File -> New -> Select it in the list of Templates.

(😀 That is how templates work.)

Set Smart Tool to Select.

Select the notes (click and drag over all the notes, they will be selected.)

Change the Smart Tool to Edit.

Hold the cursor over any of the notes.

The cursor changes to a pencil with a triangle. I

Click and drag up and down, changes velocity up and down.

Numerical values are displayed to make things easier.

Works with single notes as well.

To change note start and end times,:
Edit mode: Place the cursor over the start or end of a note to change the start and end times.

Move notes (left-right, up-down)
Move mode: Click and drag a note.

The above is all from the manual. 😀 There are a few changes, that is old documnetation.

I just had a look - there is a solution.

Load one of the existing Start Screen templates.
Change it to the way you want it.
Use Save As to give it your name.
You MUST overwrite the original template.
You MUST type out the new name from scratch. No changing what is already there. You you must delete everything in the Filename box, and type in your new name.

Obviously these templates have something embedded in them which makes them work. So taking one, modifying it, and saving with a completely new name creates one of the "special" templates. And that is why you must delete the old name completely, so Cakewalk understands that you are not renaming, you are creating new.

Thanks, that was an interesting read, but by the end of the tread, it seemed there was still no answer?

Sorry, I never followed it to the very end. But it seems no one has the answer. Send an email to support@cakewalk.com, they should know. They are very friendly and helpful.

See this discussion

Ghosthack is sample packs only. Not a VST. You put them somewhere on your hard-drive. Preferably where you will store any other samoples you get.

Then you follow the last line in @scook's post.

Enjoy.

Hold down the Alt Key. Click on open places on the bus/track. If the icon changes to a small double-headed arrow you can drag the bus/track.

There are a few places on the bus that work, some that don't.


 

It is because the guitar is on the right-channel of your interface.

When you tried on Track 1you have the left-channel selected as input, Track 2 has the right-channel.

1) You are probably not listening to it in Cakewalk with the same audio engine as outside Cakewalk. What software do you use to listen to the exported version? What audio engine are you using inside Cakewalk?

2) You might have FX applied and have selected to export without using the FX.
On the audio track I have reverb

When exporting, see the Track FX is not enabled. There will be no reverb.

And that is just a start.

Also, Mike's video says:
Insert the SI Drums into the track pane. (You must have installed them, see above.)
Then he talks about downloading the drum map and where to put it.
Then he creates a new drum map. This is to load the downloaded drum map into the project.
Then he goes to the MIDI track of the drums and routes its output to the drum map.

You insert a drum instrument. You route its MIDI track through a drum map to the drum instrument.
